Selçuklu Uygarlığı Müzesi

Although it was partially repaired during the Ottoman Period, extensive restoration work was carried out starting in the 1960s when it was in ruins. It has been used as the History of Medicine Museum by Erciyes University since the 1980s. With the transfer of the use of the Çifte Madrasa to our Municipality in 2012, the works to establish the Seljuk Museum began.

Minor repairs, especially the roof, in the building, the creation of the museum collection and the preparation of its content continued intensively for 2 years. Finally, this monument, which is an important part of the local and universal cultural heritage as well as its historical and imaginary value for the city, was opened by our Municipality on February 21, 2014, by transforming it into a museum that introduces the Anatolian Seljuk world with its different aspects.

The museum, which focuses on the Anatolian Middle Ages and Seljuk Civilization, based on the history of the city, was planned with a thematic approach. In one part, the museum highlights the civilization related to the Seljuk Civilization, while the other part brings the oral feature to the fore. In the part about the Seljuk Civilization; There are parts such as 'Seljuk City', 'architecture', 'art', 'science', 'clothing' and parts such as 'Seljuks in Kayseri' and 'Seljuks in Anatolia'. In the part about healing; There are sections such as 'diseases', 'treatment methods and tools', 'scholars', 'pharmacy', 'water and health', 'treatment with music', 'treatment with color'.

In addition to the Seljuk and recent works exhibited in the museum, there are areas with interactive and technological visuals. Thus, our visitors; By listening, trying, applying and using technological tools, he gets information about the Seljuk Civilization. In addition, there are cartoons and various games in our children's room for children to love the museum and Seljuk. There are also venues for various concerts and cultural activities in the museum.
